So Not Impressed
I started the first phase of my yearly physical today. I met with Dr. B and was weighed, measured and prodded.
I thought he'd be happy about the weight loss - but he was totally .. "not good enough. You need to loose more.'
Well Duh! I know that. Still some props for what I have lost (without even trying) would have been nice.
Same story with my blood pressure. I went down 20 points! Leaving me only 10 points away from my healthy target. Was he happy? Nope. "Not good enough. It needs to be lower."
The only time he got excited was when I mentioned that I was starting a dance class this month. Whoo me.
Next week, after a 24 hr fast, I'll go and give fluids up for testing. Something new has been added to my test panel - a pancreas test. I didn't realize that my having pancreatitis last summer now puts me in a high risk category for getting it again. Bummer that probably means an extra vile of blood.
Then onto the girly exam - I'll only consent to a mammary if they use the ultra sound. I absolutely refuse to have my breasties smooshed. They hurt enough without that little bit of sadism.
One positive note - I'm still too young for the colonoscopy. Yay!
